Bossio announces nearly $154,000 in funding for BCT

Bancroft Community Transit is getting a major funding boost from the federal and provincial governments.

Hastings-Lennox and Addington MP Mike Bossio says nearly $154,000 will be invested into BCT over the next decade. More than $84,000 is coming from the federal government, and over $69,500 is coming from the province. Bossio says it’s important to have reliable, efficient, and environmentally-friendly public transit systems in rural communities to get people to work, school, and to connect with one another.

BCT Director of Operations Gwen Coish calls this fantastic news. Coish says the details aren’t completely clear yet, but the expected outcomes are improved capacity for public transit infrastructure, and improved quality, safety, and access of its current system. She says BCT is expecting to find out more details in the next few weeks.
